I keep getting the following error when doing the rake db:migrate command:

rake aborted! An error has occurred, this and all later migrations canceled: SQLite3::SQLException: duplicate column name: email: ALTER TABLE "users" ADD "email" varchar(255) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL

I've also tried the command - bundle exec rake db:migrate. I ran with --trace and got the info. below.

Reset to default

First of all, if you're using devise for authentication,email field is provided by default. The source for the error is: "The email field is also present in users table. That's why whenever you're run db:migrate it shows duplicate column error.

So drop the users table by giving command ActiveRecord::Migration.drop_table(:users)"  in rails console.

Then, give  rails g model user user_name:string mobile_number:integer

Hope it will helps.
